Me

Her name is Jacqueline Kennedy not Jaclyn

Just saying!!

I automatically became upset when I saw the title of this article. I can’t even read it. I just had to express that because I feel it’s incredibly depressing. Why bother? I need to go look at something happy now…..

Aaliyah Noelle

aaliyahs death still terrifies me til this day. i was like 7 when she died. i remember crying so hard because she was my idol. her death is the reason im so scared of heights . no planes. no roller coasters. not even escalaters or elevaters. til this day..

I loved me some JFK, Jr. but if I was his wife, I wouldn’t have gotten on that plane with him. I would have tried to change his mind as well. He shouldn’t have been flying anyway since he had sprained/broken his foot and it the weather was bad, too. I wish they all would have taken a regular plane on a Red-Eye express or they could have left a few days before so they wouldn’t be rushed to be at the wedding. That crash could have been avoided.

Jai Taormino

What about Thurman Munson who played for the Yankees as a back catcher, he died in an airplane accident also!

This article so is sad and what makes it even sadder is that a few of these crashes could have been avoided like Aaliyah’s. The pilot was high off coke and the plane was overloaded a very bad combination.

MiaSara

And don’t forget her cheap az record company, first they over work the girl then they can’t even send a private jet for her! Her death still hurts and angers me because it shouldn’t have happened.
